Scorpio Compatibility
The best companionships exist with those born under Pisces, the negative pole of the Water Triplicity. Stanch friends
are to be found in Libra and in Virgo.
Scorpio Faults
Three great short-comings are apt to dominate Scorpio people when on the animal plane. These are anger,
jealousy, and passion, and if permitted to, can destroy their integrity and ruin their lives.
This sign is the natural propagative center, and the unawakened Scorpio person can sometimes be a monster of
lust. The intense love of praise and flattery is another great weakness. The husband who does not coax and praise
his Scorpio wife may often have a very hard time of it.
The education of the male has been different, therefore they are not always so exacting in small things, but
when their suspicion and jealousy are fully aroused they can become quite uncontrollable.
Those who have not learned the higher law of love are often very unsatisfactory and eccentric in their dealings
with their friends. A friend is a splendid fellow as long as he can be used, but when he no longer contributes to
their happiness and well-being, he will be tossed aside with no more compunction than one would throw away a
squeezed lemon. Later, if they feel that the assistance of the enemy is necessary, the bridge will be rebuilt and
used to the utmost. Scorpio people have infinite tact in such matters, and their wonderful magnetic power enables
them to destroy and restore these friendships with ease and grace.
When Scorpio people live on the higher plane, they are very superior individuals; when they do not, they are apt
to be tricky, subtle, and very cunning. They have a way of finding out secrets, and especially those which pertain
to business and social successes. Information thus gained is always utilized to the best advantage, and if it
decreases the income or the power of the friend, it is regarded as a good joke by the one who has used the
information thus fraudulently obtained. These unawakened Scorpio people may stop at nothing to attain their ends on
account of their determination and persistence. Whether working for good or bad results, they are indefatigable in
their efforts to accomplish their purposes.
The women in this sign who have not learned to control themselves are apt to be among the worst naggers in the
world. Their children are often times the especial victims. A smile or a look is sometimes sufficient to cause
a serious domestic storm. When this suspicion keeps up, separations and divorces are apt to follow.
The undeveloped Scorpio man is very hard to live with peaceably. He will also nag, and pick things and motives
to pieces, and throw the whole family into a state of unsettledness.
Scorpio Dis-Eases
The dis-eases which are apt to attack these people are those of the heart, weakness of the back, lumbago, and
gout.
These ailments can be minimized by those who realize that mind is the master and body the servant of
mind.
Scorpio Mode of Growth
Scorpio people should remember that one true friend is preferable to a hundred flatterers, and that true
friends are very rare, for the reason that true men and women are not common.
They should begin at once to take account of their tendencies and their weaknesses. They should set apart a few
moments each day for searching, analytical mental contemplation, and not spare themselves. They should resolve
with all the splendid will-power and determination which belongs to this sign to overcome every obstacle to true
spiritual progress. These people can be anything they choose to be, and while their faults are difficult to
overcome, they are so superiorly endowed with resolution that they can succeed if they will. If they could but
catch a glimpse of their possibilities, of the work they could do in the world, of the magnetic, curative, and
inspirational power they possess, they would never lag in the work of redemption.
They must overcome suspicion and jealousy. This can only be accomplished by the realization of the
existence of these dwarfing and despoiling qualities. They must acknowledge, that they are prone to excuse
themselves, and, worse than this, to flatter themselves. Some of the Scorpio people who read this will immediately
protest. "No such faults are mine," they will say, and perhaps in their indignation will close the book on their
transformation process and vow never to have anything more to do with it. Such an exhibition of temper will prove
that they are well hit. Because those born under this sign, who have given no attention to spiritual development,
are always very tender of their own feelings and equally careless of the suffering of others.
This may be true of other signs as well, as Scorpio people are not the only ones who wish to deceive
themselves.
Those who indulge in scolding and nagging will do well to notice the effect of such conduct upon those about
them. They will see that it drives away from them those they love the most and for whose real good they are most
anxious. It will not take long for them to discover that their children, and all under their authority, are
deceiving and evading their commands. Those under control of such people, unless very conscientious, invariably do
things their own way, and learn to become very tactful and cunning.
When Scorpio people step to the moral plane where they can acknowledge their faults, the battle is half won, but
as long as they determine to deceive themselves they are in utter darkness.
